After deaths of the Decker sisters, advocates call for review of Amber Alert

Child safety advocates and Washington state lawmakers met on the steps of Seattle City Hall Friday to call for a review of Washington’s Amber Alert system. Their calls are in response to the deaths of the three Decker sisters.

Wenatchee Police had asked the State Patrol to issue an Amber Alert for the missing girls, but instead got an Endangered Missing Persons Advisory, which does not send out cellphone alerts. A manhunt is still underway in Chelan County for the father of the three sisters, Travis Decker, the prime suspect in their deaths.
